	In America People run from the cops Full PM-box? Change here!

In the U.S. people from time to time run from the police. In England cops may run from people with guns but in Japan....

quote: Police gaffe irks Japanese leader Japan's police force was exposed to ridicule when morning TV viewers saw a man chasing away two officers. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi called the incident "embarrassing" and ordered a review of police training. Television footage showed the officers approaching a car that had ploughed into a building in Tokyo. They were then seen running away when the driver began pursuing them, brandishing what appeared to be a club. "I couldn't believe it when the police officers fled instead of trying to seize the suspect when he came at them," said Mr Koizumi. The incident, which happened in Tokyo's Daiba district, was broadcast by Fuji Television Network on its morning news bulletin. The prime minister has told Japan's public security chief to tighten up police training to prevent a repeat incident. "When the culprit came towards them, they didn't try to restrain him but ran away," he said. "I was surprised and amazed when I saw this. "Many people must have viewed the incident on TV. I told the National Public Safety Commission chief to take steps so police are trained and prepared."

And afterwards the "club" would have been discovered to be nothing more than a simple child's plastic baseball bat. A bright yellow child's plastic baseball bat...

Don't act so high and mighty!

We have no idea of the size of this club, the existence/dirtiness of any possible nails, etc........

Perhaps Japan will start exporting these fearsome clubs to criminals around the world?! Huh? What then tough guys?!

Well, the appropriate behavior for them would have been to run away and call the police

Such is the nature of an arms race: Man find club, another man finds a bigger club, the first man finds a club with a nail in it, the second man finds a bigger club with a nail in it, the first man makes a bigger club with a bigger nail in it and so on until one of them makes a big enough club with a big enough nail in it to DESTROY THE WORLD11!!1!!11!!!!!111

POlice can't win ever-- If they beat him down or shot him there would be those that would say that that was unnecessary force.

It actually happened in Canada where a guy rushed the police with an ax and was shot dead. The police came under a fair bit of criticism for not "avoiding the altercation".

actually I think police could do more to avoid these situations.

Police tend to "provoke" people by confronting them. If the guy is by himself, he is no threat to anyone. Just leave him alone, he'll calm down. I can understand if there is family or hostages near him, then you have to confront him.
